Peter P. Blanchard, Jr.'s vision, and the commitment of his son, Peter P. Blanchard III, to creating an enduring legacy, established Greenwood Gardens as a haven for the public to enjoy. The determination of many individuals to build upon that dream, however, is enabling Greenwood to succeed at its mission. You can help sustain this tradition by planning a gift to Greenwood. Gift planning can allow you to achieve your personal financial goals and ensure your legacy while making a significant contribution to Greenwood.

Many options available today allow you to make a substantial gift to Greenwood while taking advantage of considerable tax savings. In addition to wills and bequests, other arrangements – such as establishing charitable remainder trusts, naming Greenwood as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement plan, creating a savings account or trust, or making a gift of real estate – can offer numerous financial advantages and the satisfaction of supporting a national treasure.

Every individual's financial situation is unique, so we recommend that you discuss your estate plans with your legal and financial advisers.
